I have been wondering about this again recently. I dug through the NetBSD libc a little, looking for this, but I couldn't find it. Then I ran across this page today: http://www.gnu.org/software/libunistring/manual/libunistring.html#The-wchar_005ft-mess This claims that, like Solaris, NetBSD uses a locale-dependent wchar_t encoding. If this is the case then disabling the wide character code is probably the simplest approach that will do something sensible for you. BTW, libunistring seems like a nice approach. It is close to what I wish wchar_t support actually looked like. I am tempted to say we should go that route, but of course that would mean adding another dependency :-( Tom
